Wood staining

[sticker]

Hi all   could i draw your attention to a product that may be of some use to you if you need to stain some of your  wood for your models   ,it's some stain sample bottles that cover a lot of colours  from a company called     furniture clinic    here in the UK . The bottles are 15ml, they come in various pack sizes and colour types ,i bought 2 packs  1 x 5 bottles of browns and 1x9 bottles of various other colours  for less than £15   which seems good value to me , i have no connection to this company    it  just seems like something us modellers can put to good use    ps i forgot to mention earlier that i bought them on amazon ,again no connection        cheers

if you need to stain

I have used these by Woodeedoo on my latest build, I they look good

 

NOTE: being water based, they do raise the grain which can show any sanding marks, so you do need to be careful with the rougher grades of sandpaper

looks to be about the same price?
